Here are some of the Pacific Northwest's marine mammals, Pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) and Cetaceans (porpoises, orcas and whales) found from Alaska, all the way down the coast.
The Grey Whales migrate from Mexico each year, stopping on their way to Alaska to fuel up on Ghost shrimp and other goodies in the waters of the Salish sea, practically outside my front door (well, just down the road in Langley). The fast black and white beauties are the Dall's Porpoises and, of course, the magnificent transient Orcas. This Orca would probably love to get its teeth into the Steller Sea Lions, or, gasp, oh no, the baby Harbor Seal pup on the beach. (BTW, DON'T DISTURB THE PUP. It's mama is nearby and it is just fine.)
